CAN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 283,112, dated ''August 14, 1883. l Application filed June 1,1883. Model) To all whom it may concern.-

' -Be it known that we, EDWIN IVEY and AN- DREW UREN, both of Seattle, in the county of King and Territory of Washington have invented a new and Improved Can-Holder, of

which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved device for holding oil-cans or like vessels in such a manner that they can be .easily tilted and the liquid drawn from the same.

Theinvention consists ofthe combination,

with inverted-V-shaped standards, of a U- of the same.

shaped shaft journaled in the same, braces, and a can-holding frame formed on the shaft, and of a certain other combination of parts, substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed. 1

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming'part of this specification, in which similar letters-of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal elevation of our improvedcan-holder. Figu2 is an endview Fig. 3 is a plan view of the swinging box.

U-shaped shaft, A, is provided at-the ends with pivots A, which are journaled in the upper ends of two inverted-V-shaped frames, B, the diagonally-opposite shanks of which are braced and united by cross diagonal braces O. A square frame-piece, D, is 7 secured to the shaft A, near the ends of the same,

and to the said frame-piece D a U-shaped piece, E, is fastened which is at right angles to the shaft A; The frame-piece D, theU- shaped piece E, and the shaft A form a re ceptacle or holder for receiving the can F, from which the liquid is to bewithdrawn. The

pivots A are so arranged that they will be.

above the center of gravity of the can, and will easily by means of the above-described device without danger of turning over the lamp or spilling any of the liquid. The can placed in theholder-can have any desired shape, and can contain any fluidfor instance, all kinds of oils, turpentine, alcohol, varnish, mixed paints, &c. v

The above-described device will be found to be Very useful if small quantities are to be drawn from a can, as the can need not be raised or held in an inclined position, but need only be tilted more or less.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a can-holder, the combination, with the inverted-V-shaped standards B, of the U- shaped shaft A, journaled in the same, the

braces G, and a can-holding frame formed on the shaft A, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a can-holder, the combination, with the standards B, of the U-shaped shaft A, journaled in the same, the frame-piece D, and the U-shaped piece E, substantially as herein shown anddescribed, and for the purpose set forth.
